There are many joys when expecting a child, however pregnancy also comes with physical and hormonal changes that may affect the comfort of the mother. In the physical realm, carrying a baby changes the center of weight and puts a lot of stress on the back, abdominal and shoulders regions. On top of that, the hormone Relaxin is released into the body. Relaxin affects the centers on the joints of the pelvis, allowing them to stretch during delivery. It also softens and lengthens the cervix and helps relax smooth muscles in the uterus and elsewhere throughout the body. With the center of gravity shifted, the added weight and hormones that naturally loosen the joints and ligaments, pregnant women can find themselves with a lot of aches and pains.
Many symptoms of pregnancy can be improved with a prenatal massage. Studies show that prenatal massage can reduce back pain, joint pain, edema, tension headaches , stress, anxiety, improve circulation, and help mothers get a better night sleep.
